After Liu Dagang finished speaking, he also helped unload the ten kilograms of firewood on Zhao Ergou's back and said, "Let's calculate it together."

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhao Ergou.

As if Zhao Ergou couldn't bear her scrutiny, he ran away without even asking for the firewood on the ground.

"Hey, why is this kid running away..." Liu Dagang sighed, then turned to look at Jiang Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't mind. It was his fault that Ergou couldn't treat you well before. Now he knows Wrong...he spent the whole morning collecting these ten pounds of firewood, which is considered very careful. Now that his father is dead and there is no one left at home, you just..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded.

She knew what Liu Dagang meant.

He was afraid that he was still concerned about Zhao Ergou bullying him in the past and not accepting the firewood he collected.

"Brother Dagang, I am not a stingy person. As long as he corrects his mistakes, my family will accept his firewood." Jiang Xiaoxiao said, counting fifteen coins and handing them over.

"Okay, then let me thank you for Ergou!" Brother Liu happily took the coin and went to find Zhao Ergou.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaoxiao opened his mouth and stopped him.

"Brother Dagang, I have a job here and I wonder if you have time to do it?"

"What kind of work are you doing?" Brother Liu put the fifteen copper coins into his bag and came over to ask.

Jiang Xiaoxiao then said that she wanted to ask him to buy firewood for her, "...This work is not too tiring, and Chun Ya is helping out. As long as Brother Dagang comes to do it, my family is willing to pay you eighty cents a day." .”

"Seriously!" Liu Dagang's eyes were shining with joy.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded.

With Liu Dagang's strength, he can carry a hundred kilograms of firewood from the mountain in one day. It is not a problem to earn sixty or seventy cents. If you want him to take over this job, it is necessary to earn eighty cents.

Moreover, Liu Dagang also knows some words, so simple recording is not a problem.

Naturally, Chun Ya, who was helping on the side, also had to get a raise...

Within a moment, Liu Dagang successfully sat in Jiang Xiaoxiao's original position, holding a pen and paper in his hand, and was responsible for purchasing firewood.

Chunya was there to help as usual.

The two worked well together.

Jiang Xiaoxiao watched for a while and was very satisfied. After seeing that there was no problem, she left with peace of mind.

She went to find Gao Xiaosuan.

While we can still pick flowers in autumn, we have to ask Gao Xiaoshuan to go up the mountain to pick more flowers and bring them back to dry. Otherwise, in winter, there will be no flowers to pick in the barren mountains and forests.

When he arrived at Gao's house, Jiang Xiaoxiao saw that the yard of Gao's house was filled with firewood being dried.

The Gao family are also honest people. They knew that it had rained just a few days ago and the firewood cut on the mountain still contained moisture. They had to be dried in their own yard before they were willing to carry it to her house for sale.

"Brother Xiao Shuan!" Jiang Xiaoxiao shouted while standing outside the hospital.

"Sister Xiaoxiao?" Gao Xiaoshuan saw her and hurriedly came over to open the door.

Gao Xiaoshuan was only one year older than her, but already very sensible. He invited Jiang Xiaoxiao into the room, and then poured tea for her to drink like a little adult.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and waved her hand: "Thank you, Brother Xiaoshuan. Mom said I'm still young and shouldn't drink tea."

Gao Xiaoshuan immediately blushed.

At this time, the Gao family's parents also came back, carrying loads of firewood on their backs.

Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao coming from home, I was naturally happy and welcomed.

Jiang Xiaoxiao told them about picking flowers.

"Brother Xiao Shuan, you know best where the wild flowers grow on the mountain. You can bring a few more people to pick the sweet-scented osmanthus and wild ginger flowers from the mountain... My family charges ten cents per catty." "This, this is impossible. !”

Before Gao Xiaoshuan could speak, the parents of the Gao family hurriedly waved their hands and said: "Xiaoxiao, when you asked Shuanzi to pick flowers for you earlier, ten cents a day was already considered high. How can you give such a high price! On this mountain? The flowers are not worth much, how can we take so much money from your family..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head and said: "Auntie, these ten cents per pound are appropriate. After Brother Xiaoshuan picked these flowers, he spent a lot of time and effort, and he also had to help me dry them. The petals become lighter once they are dried. ...I feel like ten cents per pound is too little."

After hearing what Jiang Xiaoxiao said, the Gao family's parents finally agreed with gratitude.

They knew that Jiang Xiaoxiao was taking care of their family. Picking flowers was much easier than picking up firewood. Gao Xiaoshuan was young and couldn't pick up much firewood up the mountain, so they might as well help Jiang Xiaoxiao pick flowers.

This is also a big investment.

However, Gao Xiaoshuan, who took over the job, did not do it alone. Instead, he went to Wang Goudan to do it together.

After Jiang Xiaoxiao found out, he naturally had no objection.

Not to mention that Wang Goudan had helped her before, and he was eight years old this year, two years older than Gao Xiaoshuan, and he was more mature and stable in his work. With him sharing the burden, Gao Xiaoshuan could also relax a lot.

After Aunt Wang found out that her son had taken over a good job, she was extremely happy and showed off in the village all day long.

This made Li Dayong's wife, who was already dissatisfied with the Jiang family, even more dissatisfied. Why didn't she find such a good job to make her family prosperous? !

How could her family not be as strong as that brat Wang Goudan!
Of course, these are all for later.

After Jiang Xiaoxiao left the Gao family, seeing that it was still early, she thought of going to Sister Zhao's house.

Since Zhao Rascal's death, Sister-in-law Zhao's condition has obviously gotten worse, so her mother gave her two days off to rest.

Jiang Xiaoxiao went all the way to find the thatched house where Sister Zhao's family currently lives.

As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao arrived at the thatched hut, she saw Zhao Ergou sneaking around outside the courtyard.

She frowned immediately.

What does Zhao Ergou want to do?
His father, Zhao Lai Lai, loved to do sneaky things during his lifetime. Could it be that Zhao Ergou inherited his father's business and wanted to imitate his father in doing such sneaky things?
Huh, luckily she sympathized with him a little bit at that time, but she didn't expect that this kid would not change his ways!
Jiang Xiaoxiao walked forward angrily and was about to scold Zhao Ergou.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao heard the noise first and came out.

"Two dogs?"

A familiar voice sounded from the small courtyard.

Zhao Ergou was so frightened that he shivered.

He suddenly raised his head and met Mrs. Zhao's kind and gentle eyes.

His eyes suddenly turned red.

Immediately, he lowered his head and avoided those eyes.

"Why are you here?" Sister-in-law Zhao opened the courtyard door and walked towards him.

Zhao Ergou lowered his head and took two steps back as if he was scared.

But soon, he stopped again, put a piece of paper that was already sweating in his hand into Mrs. Zhao's hand, then turned around and ran away.

Jiang Xiaoxiao walked over and asked suspiciously: "Auntie, what did he give you?"

Sister-in-law Zhao was stunned for a moment, looked at the document in her hand, and then fell silent.

After a long time, she finally said: "...it's the title deed to the Zhao family's twenty acres of land."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help being stunned.
